Aqjangajuk began carving in 1954 at the age of seventeen. He comes from a family of artists, His grandfather is the carver Kiakshuk and his parents, Paunichea and Munamee Davidee, are both artists as well.

This sculpture is a blend of contemporary and traditional Inuit art materials, being made of walrus bone and serpentine. Stone was introduced as a carving material in the 1940s while animal bone has a long history in Inuit art, going back some 4,000 years.

Born in 1943, Illuitok was an Inuit master sculptor from Kugaaruk. She created detailed, delicate ivory/bone carvings that mostly represented hunting or nature scenes. Illuitok often worked with found materials that she then shaped into works of art. She passed away in 2012.

The above work shows birds nesting and is made of whale bone and ivory. Notice the little detail on the bottom right of a polar bear hunting some seals.
